Left Ear Tip Orientation

If the ears are asymmetrical, or the symmetry is unknown, they must be coded separately, starting with the left ear. Before you begin, indicate that you are coding the left ear by marking an "L" in the appropriate space (Ear) on your coding sheet.

Please code the ear tip orientation as follows:

• (V) Ear tip upright (see a below) - please continue here
• Ear tip oriented towards the rear of the vertical (see d below) - please continue here
• (H) Tip pointing out to the side on the horizontal (see g below) - please continue here
• (O) Tip pointing out to the side around 45 degrees above the horizontal (see figure at lower left) - please continue here
• (G) Ear touching ground - please continue here
• (Z) Position of tip unknown - please continue here
